“My work is at the intersection of traditional and digital mediums, such as hand drawing and augmented reality, virtual reality and video. I am interested in the relationship between technology and hand drawing, its expression in the local, the temporal. I wonder what notable features a place might have and which ones go unnoticed, how we are connected to a place, how our bodies might relate to it, and whether it is possible to become closer to the spaces we inhabit.”
